Default case, carrying identification

Hello,
I have an antennae carrying case labelled as follows:
CASE, CARRYING
ANTENNAE RODS NO. C1
ZA/CAN 2318

and

RCA 106910
MADE IN CANADA
BY
W.R. KEY LTD

It is 4 feet long by 2 inches high. It is oval in shape and made of metal. The webbing is the same as 37 Pattern khaki. No dates or maker marks.
WftW does not show this case. It is too short for C42 antennae sections, and if I read correctly, F rods are 4 feet in length, so too short for a WS19 set.
I thought possibly it was part of the WS52CDN set.
All replies appreciated.

Regards,
Ian

Canadian Wireless Set No.29
Should have a divider inside, often removed as they made great cases for fly rods.

Thanks Geoff.
I didn't think to look at the other Canadian sets in WftW. I should have noticed the broad arrow C on the cap though.
Rather an orphan piece, so I am not sure how it was mixed in with a group of C42 items I just received.
